Definitions
- This invention relates to a method of producing hollow objects of metals by a hot process and an arrangement for such method.
- Hollow objects promise a considerable potential for use in lightweight structures. In their technical applications, the weight of the material is utilized more efficiently for providing the desired function. Besides hollow objects in which the presence of a cavity is the necessary condition, e.g. in the design of piping, pressure vessels, heat exchangers or springs, the number of applications has been increasing recently in which a cavity is predominantly a feature that provides weight savings, including the aspect of the moment of inertia.
- Hollow rotating shafts may serve as an example. They have much lower mass than identical solid shafts. Yet, such hollow shafts can transmit a comparable torque at identical outside dimensions. In addition, their acceleration and deceleration require much less energy, owing to their lower moment of inertia. The better the mechanical properties of material, the thinner the wall can be—and the higher the efficiency of the mass of the structural element.
- Hollow objects made of steels must be first converted to the required shape and then, in order to obtain excellent properties, heat treated to impart high strength and sufficient toughness.
- the shape of such a semi-finished product can be obtained by various methods, e.g. machining, forming or welding.
- the input semi-finished product is heated to an austenite temperature of the material of which the semi-finished product is made, the semi-finished product is then converted to the final shape of the hollow object in a forming device and immediately after that this object is cooled to a temperature, at which incomplete transformation of austenite to martensite takes place.
- retained austenite stabilization is effected in a heating device by way of diffusion-based carbon partitioning within the material from which the hollow object is made. Once the stabilization is finished, the hollow object is cooled in a cooling device to ambient temperature.
- the present invention relates to a method of producing shaped hollow objects of metals by a hot process and an arrangement for such method.
- the method of making shaped hollow objects of metals by a hot process is characterized by heating a metal hollow semi-finished product with at least one opening to a forming temperature which is equal to an austenite temperature of the material of which the semi-finished product is made.
- the heating device can comprise a device capable of providing induction heating but the semi-finished product may also be heated in a furnace.
- the semi-finished product is placed into a cavity whose shape corresponds to the desired final external shape of the hollow object.
- the cavity is then sealed and a medium in the form of water, steam or a mixture of water and steam is introduced into the cavity.
- the cavity is formed by a mould, whose opening's entry edge has an expanded portion, against which a sealing feature is oriented.
- the outer surface of said sealing feature is arranged to close against this expanded portion, and this sealing feature is provided with a means of supply of a medium.
- This sealing feature is provided with a tube through which the means of supply of medium passes. The tube extends into the interior of the semi-finished product.
- the material cools gradually and no transformation occurs until the forming process is finished.
- the entire forming process takes place in austenite condition.
- the material cools further. This process can be applied several times, until the mould contour is filled completely.
- the mould may be heated, by which means the cooling of the formed hollow object can be stopped at a desired temperature.
- microstructural evolution can be controlled to achieve austenite transformation to martensite or bainite or ferrite. At the same time, part of austenite may remain untransformed due to interrupted cooling.
- the hollow object is removed from the mould and, depending on the type of desired microstructure, either controlled cooling to ambient temperature or, alternatively, holding at a defined temperature is carried out which leads to partitioning of elements, most notably carbon, in the microstructure.
- ductility and toughness improve. This hold is followed by cooling to ambient temperature.
- the resultant microstructure may contain hardening phases comprising martensite and bainite, and metastable austenite, and, if required, the microstructure may also contain ferrite.
- forming process in the hollow object may be effected by means of steam pressure.
- Steam is generated by evaporation of water which is supplied by means of a tube into the space in the cavity of semi-finished product being formed. It is advantageous when the circumference of the tube is provided with nozzles for distributing the steam pressure more uniformly.
- the tube may be preheated to a temperature of approximately 200° C. Water mist or steam from the nozzles hits the heated inner wall of the hollow semi-finished product, which causes steam to be generated and steam pressure to build up.
- the sealing feature which comprises a tube, also forms a seal for the mould so that the steam pressure in the cavity rises to a level which permits the semi-finished product to expand inside the mould.
- the inner pressure causes the semi-finished product to be shaped perfectly by a hot or warm process until the semi-finished product comes into contact with the mould wall.
- the sealing feature may be advantageously pressed via a spring which, when maximum pressure is exceeded, separates the sealing feature's outer surface, which is arranged to close against the expanded portion of the entrance edge of the die opening, from this expanded portion and the gap thus provided enables a part of the pressurized steam to be released to the surroundings.
- the spring provides the function of a pressure relief valve. After the specified temperature and pressure have been achieved, the mould opens, the dies draw away from each other and the resulting hollow object is removed from the forming device.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 show a schematic depiction of a forming device for making hollow objects prior to the process and with a semi-finished product of the initial and final shapes, respectively.
- a metal hollow semi-finished product P provided with one opening is made of the 25SiCrB material (Tab. 1).
- This semi-finished product P is heated approximately to its austenite temperature of 950° C. in an electrical furnace.
- the semi-finished product P is transferred by means of tongs into a forming device.
- the forming device comprises a split mould F and a sealing feature U.
- a cavity D is created by bringing both parts of the mould F together, with their opening's entrance edge being provided with an expanded portion Z′, against which the sealing feature U is oriented, whose outer surface B′ is arranged to close against this expanded portion Z′. Bringing the sealing feature U into contact with the expanded portion Z′ seals the cavity D.
- the sealing feature U is provided with a tube T and a means of supply of water by which it extends into the cavity D of the mould and into the semi-finished product P.
- the tube T is provided with nozzles T′.
- the forming process in the forming device takes place with the aid of steam which creates internal pressure.
- the steam is generated by supplying water through nozzles T′ in the tube T, as a consequence of the contact of water with the heated semi-finished product.
- the semi-finished product P is deformed into the final hollow object shape at temperatures in an interval of approximately 920° C. to 500° C.
- the final shape is obtained by filling the internal contour of the cavity D in the forming device.
- the sealing feature U is pressed against the mould F via a spring A, which rests on the outer surface B′ of the sealing feature.
- said spring moves the outer surface B′, which is arranged to close against the expanded portion Z′ of the entrance edge of the opening of the mould F, away from this expanded portion Z′ and the gap thus provided enables part of the pressurized steam to be released to the surrounding space.
- the spring A fulfils the function of a pressure relief valve.
- the cavity D is opened, both parts of the mould F are drawn apart and the resultant hollow object is removed from the forming device and is subsequently cooled to the ambient temperature.
- the heating device comprises a continuous furnace at the temperature of 250° C. This temperature enables carbon redistribution, austenite stabilization and relieves stress in the microstructure.
- the hollow object is kept at 250° C. in the furnace for about 6 minutes.
- the hollow object is removed from the heating device and cooled by means of a cooling device in still air to ambient temperature or to room temperature, in this case 20° C.
- the cooling device has the form of a cooling conveyor.
- This invention can be used in the production of metal parts, namely in the metallurgical industry in making semi-finished products, in particular for the automotive industry.
